Plans for a sustainable motorway service station with no petrol or diesel pumps have been given the go-ahead.
Gridserve Sustainable Energy has got permission to build the facility just off the M1 in north Derbyshire, which will have more than 30 high-power charging bays for electric vehicles supplied by net zero electricity.
As well as allowing travellers to top up their batteries, the site, at junction 29a of the motorway near Chesterfield, would also offer public charging for a nearby housing development and wider community. It will also have charging points for electric lorries and other HGVs as well as a café and shop.
